Wisdom in Female Form: Awakening Stories from The Hidden Lamp (Via Zoom)

November 19, 9:00am-3:00pm (Central Time)

$25 preregistered/prepaid.

Registration Deadline: November 17 (A Zoom link will be emailed to you on November 18.)

We know throughout the ages, and in all religious traditions, there have been women teachers and sages, yet their stories and teachings have often been lost – or nearly lost. In the 2,500 year history of Buddhism, there have been many wise women, and a few of their stories have survived. The Hidden Lamp (©2013, Wisdom Publications) is a collection of 100 of these wisdom stories. These awakened women were nuns, queens, mothers, grandmothers, old and young. Each of them has something to contribute to us in our lives.

In this interactive online retreat, led by one of the co-authors of The Hidden Lamp, we will reflect on a few of these stories as mirrors for our own journey, through contemplation, journaling, Lectio Divina and small group sharing. No previous experience with Buddhism or meditation is required, and it is not necessary to have the book to attend the retreat.

Rev. Zenshin Florence Caplow is a Zen Buddhist priest and teacher, as well as a Unitarian Universalist Minister, writer, editor, and coach. She is co-editor, with Susan Moon, of The Hidden Lamp: Stories from Twenty-Five Centuries of Awakened Women, and teaches retreats, workshops and study groups focused on these stories.
